This is, of course, an ad for pork. I can’t believe it took the industry this long to help us females make the important connection between clear nail polish and pork tenderloin.

Then again, maybe we should have figured this out on our own. I mean, after all, clear nail polish is the “estrogen equivalent of duct tape.” As for a pork tenderloin, one “can fix just about anything with it lickity-split too—Asian Grilled Pork Tenderloin, Hawaiian Cobb Salad…” I mean, let’s not mince words: you can basically forget about snaring a husband sans pork and polish.

Not sure which makes me gag more, the kicker (“The Other White Meat and clear nail polish. Two handy-dandy things I can’t live without”) or the very pink color of the raw pork in the ad, which if I am not mistaken looks unnaturally pink…

Found on Salon’s women’s blog, Broadsheet. Originally spotted on Copyranter.

BEFORE YOU CLICK AWAY!

“Lying.” “Disgusting.” “Scum.” “Slime.” “Corrupt.” “Enemy of the people.” Donald Trump has always made clear what he thinks of journalists. And it’s plain now that his administration intends to do everything it can to stop journalists from reporting things they don’t like—which is most things that are true.

No one gets to tell Mother Jones what to publish or not publish, because no one owns our fiercely independent newsroom. But that also means we need to directly raise the resources it takes to keep our journalism alive. There’s only one way for that to happen, and it’s readers like you stepping up. Please help with a donation today if you can—even a few bucks will make a real difference. A monthly gift would be incredible.
